Overview

Chalet Twenty26 is a luxury 5 bedroom mountain home with a modern boutique twist on traditional alpine style. Located at the mouth of the Vallée de la Manche, the chalet sits in private grounds in this exclusive location at the heart of the Portes du Soleil. The chalet is perfectly located for both winter skiing holidays and also summer mountain escapes. There are fantastic walking and cycling routes right from the chalet and the bars and restaurants are a pleasant short stroll away. In the summer the chalet is available on a flexible basis providing both B&B and half board options both on a room by room and exclusive use basis. In the winter the chalet is let on an exclusive use basis and is fully catered with a driving service.

Living Areas | The spacious open-plan living and dining area has stunning views up the valley to the Dents Blanches mountain range and down across Morzine to the pistes of Pleney. Full height sliding glass doors open onto the wrap around balcony, the perfect place to watch the setting sun whilst enjoying a glass of champagne. A roaring fire will keep you warm as you sink into the plush sofas with a book or enjoy your favourite music on the networked audio system. The spacious dining table is surrounded by comfortable upholstered chairs, so you can linger over a delicious evening meal.

Bedrooms | Your bedroom will be a sanctuary to retreat to after an energetic day in the mountains. Wake refreshed from sleeping in a sumptuous bed, with crisp Egyptian cotton linen from The White Company. Drench yourself under the rain shower in your ensuite and revitalise with bathroom products from luxury brand Compagnie de Provence. Take a warm, fluffy towel from the heated rail and snuggle into your robe and slippers (although all bathrooms have underfloor heating). Each room has a unique element, such as a stunning skylight or a comfortable lounge area and all have chairs to sit back and unwind in. You'll also find a flat screen TV and full entertainment system from which you can watch movies and listen to music in the comfort of your own room. Each bedroom can be configured as a king-size double or a twin and 2 rooms can accommodate an additional single bed or cot when required.

Terrace and Gardens | The spacious grounds of Chalet Twenty26 allow for outdoor as much as indoor living during the summer months. There is a large decked terrace with feature hot-tub and ample space for barbecues and alfresco dining. Yoga and Pilates classes can be held on the deck during our 'well-being' holidays and sun-loungers and seating areas mean you can soak up the sun or have a cool drink in the shade.

Spa Facilities | No mountain home would be complete without a hot tub and Chalet Twenty26 is no exception. You'll find our spa sunk into a multi-level terrace with fantastic views of the mountains: the perfect place to soothe your muscles and sip champagne with friends. The spa features multiple seating options and loungers with powerful massage jets. You'll also find a charming wood burning barrel sauna. With ample room for up to 6 adults the sauna is the perfect place to relax with the delightful smell of the natural cedar wood.

The setup can play HD movies from Bluray disc or via the network streaming system. You can also stream movies directly from your Apple AirPlay compatible device. The sound system from Marantz features full range 5.1 speakers to full immerse you in the cinema experience. It's the ideal place to watch a favourite movie and the kids will love the latest high-tech gaming gadgets which include a Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii. There's also a great selection of books, magazines and board games to keep everyone amused for hours.

The system is also available in the Cinema Room where you'll find a huge HD projection screen and digital surround sound system. The living area features a networked Marantz audio system from which you can access a library of music as well as hundreds of internet radio stations. The system is also Apple AirPlay compatible meaning that you can stream your own music collection directly from your iPhone, iPad or iPod. The cinema is also AirPlay compatible meaning you can stream videos and films straight to the projection screen. There's Wi-Fi throughout the chalet so you can stay in touch with family, friends or colleagues, and there's also printing and fax services should you need it. Of course if you prefer to curl up in an armchair with a book then there's space to do that too.

Locker Room | Your private locker room is the perfect place to start and end your active day. There's no shortage of space so everyone has room to gear up before hitting the slopes. Boot warmers and drying areas will ensure your equipment is ready to go when you are. If you're visiting us in the summer with a bike you'll find everything you need for those last minute adjustments including a professional bike stand, track pump and a range of tools.

About Chris & Sarah Hamblin

The Boutique Chalet Company was set up in 2011 by Chris and Sarah Hamblin out of a passion for interior design, excellent food and wine, and of course, the mountains. Having skied and worked in many of the French alpine resorts, we fell in love with Morzine, a traditional Savoie town in the heart of the Portes du Soleil.

The Portes du Soleil offers a unique set of mountain ranges that span France and Switzerland. The range of runs here is immense whether you're skiing them in the winter or hiking and cycling in the summer. The view is constantly changing. Two days are never the same.

The company prides itself on offering luxury ski and summer holidays. From the moment you first enquire you'll receive a personal service to make sure every detail of your holiday is exactly as you would desire. We want to make sure that a trip with The Boutique Chalet Company is a truly unforgettable experience.

Why Chris & Sarah Hamblin chose Morzine

After an extensive property search covering many towns and villages in the French Alps we found Chalet Twenty26, in the small hamlet of La Boucherie just outside of Morzine's old town centre. In the winter we can see the lifts and pistes of Morzine and there are several excellent off-piste routes back to the chalet. Come summer the walking and cycling trails from our doorstep are incredible - further up the Vallee de la Manche is a protected nature reserve which offers some of the best hiking in the Alps and some stunning 3000m+ peaks.

The chalet itself had huge potential and a wonderful setting but needed considerable work. We set about renovating the property over an 18 month period in which time it was stripped back to it's shell, re-configured and comprehensively styled throughout. This gave us the opportunity to create a property which not only looks great, but really works for guests, affording them total comfort and luxury on their holiday, making it the perfect place to relax away from home.

What makes this chalet unique

Our vision was to create a stunning mountain home, that worked equally well in the summer and winter. Having worked in many chalets before we wanted to get all the little touches right... the bedrooms are all a good size and there's enough seating for all our guests in the spacious living areas. Extra features include a convenient boiling water tap for instant tea and coffee, a large locker room for your mountain kit, good Wi-Fi signal throughout the chalet and the ability to stream music straight from your iPhone. The cinema room features a stunning large projection screen and Marantz surround system. The spa facilities include a divine Jacuzzi and a charming barrel sauna. The gardens are extensive with plenty of places to relax and there's even a pétanque (boules) pitch to play on.

Chalet Twenty26 is located at the start of the Vallee de la Manche, an idyllic and private location yet only moments from the centre of Morzine. Our nearest lift is the Nyon cable car, just 500m away, but our in-resort chauffeur service will take you to any of the major lift hubs so you can quickly access all that the Portes du Soleil has to offer.
